Dating the Old Testament, Hebrew Bible and Torah with Dead Sea Scrolls reveals between 303 to 1303 years of missing history.

The Old Testament is based primarily upon the Hebrew Bible, a collection of ancient religious writings by the Israelites believed by Jews and Christians to be the sacred word of God.

The Dead Sea Scrolls (DSS) are the oldest, surviving manuscripts for the Old Testament. The table below lists the Old Testament books, year of authorship, and Dead Sea Scroll (Manuscript) dating.

QURAN      0 YEAR GAP
The Birmingham Quran manuscript is a parchment on which two leaves of an early Quranic manuscript are written. In 2015 the manuscript, which is held in the UK by the University of Birmingham, was radiocarbon dated to between 568 and 645 AD with 95.4% accuracy.

The test was carried out in a laboratory at the University of Oxford. The result places the leaves close to the time of the Prophet Muhammad, who is generally thought to have lived between 570 and 632 AD.
W Birmingham_Quran_manuscript


The tests carried out on the parchment of the Birmingham folios yield the strong probability that the animal from which it was taken was alive during the lifetime of the Prophet Muhammad or shortly afterwards.

These portions must have been in a form that is very close to the form of the Quran read today, supporting the view that the [Quran] text has undergone little or no alteration and that it can be dated to a point very close to the time it was believed to be revealed.
